We alluded to the presence of
Mr.. Logan, of the Atlanta CO,astitat-
ton, in our midst flor the purpose
of writing up our city and its at
fractions, or some of them, for no
one issseAeeff Of any paper; not even the
mammoth Constitution, c1uld con-
tain and do justice to all the at
fractions of this city. Mr.. Logan
has done a very handsome and use
full piece of work, however, consid-
ering the limited space-seven or
eight columns of the Constitution
for which our people are duly and
greatly grateful both to him and
the Constitution. We will take the
liberty of publishing tomorrow the
article, 80 as to let others see our
city as an impartial and very intel
ligent correspondent of a great pa
per sees it. 1t is very interesting
reading.
From the HendersonviIle Times
we learn.
Mr.. Henry s. Hill, of New York,
is spending a season in Henderson
vile, for his health.
A little child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Wood, of Calhoun, died on
Saturday.
We have been informed that the
good people of upper Cane creek, in
Buncombe county, have, at last, be-
come indignant over the operations
of the Mormon elders, who have
infested that section for several
years. An organization, properly
officered, has been effected for the
expulsion of these pests from their
neighporhood. They have been
notified, in writing, to leave at once.
Mr.. r. K. Davis Jr , of the Times
office, is afflicted with what the
Doctors say is faLLicuIarpharyngetis
Poor fellowl
One of our good farmers tells US
that more land has been planted
with grasses during the past year
than for several previous years add
ed together. Mr.. J. D. Brevard has
sown fifty acres of his fine farm, at
Fruitland, with timothy and or
chard rdgrass. Keep it up, gentle
men, and put stop to the impor>
tation of the eoarser grasses of the
West.
The prize-story, written by Mr..
E. w, Gurley, of this county, and
published in the New York Tribune
some months since, is in such de-
mand at the North and East that
the proprietors of that paper have
determined to send it, out in pam-
phlet form. Doubtless, 1t will be
placed on sale in Hendersonville
